Ryan Reynolds Steps Out in Deadpool Scar Makeup and Red Suit to Film with Hugh Jackman

Ryan Reynolds returns to prosthetics as Deadpool!

The actor, 47, was seen wearing the characters familiar face with scars on set Deadpool 3 on Jan. 22 as he was joined by costar Hugh Jackman in the final days of filming the highly anticipated film, which will be released this summer.

Reynolds also wore Deadpool’s red costume for the event, while Jackman, 55, wore Wolverine’s yellow suit on location in southern England.

Deadpool’s facial scars are the result of experimental cancer treatment undertaken by Reynolds’ character Wade Wilson in the first film of the franchise. The dangerous and painful treatment unlocked his superhero powers, but also left him scarred from head to toe.

Reynolds wore a prosthetic face mask on the set of ‘Deadpool 3’ on January 22.
